The City of Shepherdsville has committed to providing much needed resources for homeless individuals and families before the upcoming Winter.

Mark 12 has been advocating for homeless and impoverished residents of Bullitt County since 2019. There are very limited resources available and many must travel to Louisville for help. Jose Cubero, Mayor of Shepherdsville, has acknowledged the need and has committed to addressing the issue. Mark 12 will be focusing on their other resources: Outreach Thrift Shop, Pathway Home and their latest project- Grace Village.

Perry Cooke (Executive Director) is excited that the city has a plan. In past years, Mark 12 operated the White Flag Shelter with volunteers and financial support from the community. “This is typically when we start gearing up for the White Flag Shelter. Instead of securing a location and recruiting volunteers for the shelter, we will be able to
focus on Grace Village.” said Cooke.

Mark 12 Ministries will continue to have volunteer opportunities available. Contact Mark 12 here if you are interested in volunteering.
